🧊 Historical Significance:

The Ki911 was part of Japan’s legendary snow-fighting train formations. Paired with steam locomotives like the JNR Class 9600, it was used to clear snow on rural Hokkaido lines during the harsh winter months. This Russell-type plow, originally based on North American designs, became a key part of Japanese winter railroading heritage.
